Taipei, TAIWAN - The offshore wind turbines are planned to be installed 50 km (31 miles) off the coast of Changhua County.

Siemens Gamesa has announced that they have signed two agreements with Hai Long Offshore Wind Project at the Energy Taiwan trade fair in Taipei. Encompassing 1,044 MW for three offshore wind power projects in Taiwan, both the Turbine Supply Agreement and Service and Availability Agreements confirm the parties' commitments to the market.

The offshore wind turbines are planned to be installed 50 km (31 miles) off the coast of Changhua County. Each turbine will have a capacity of 14 megawatts and feature a rotor diameter of 222 meters (138 miles).

"The Siemens Gamesa - Hai Long collaboration lights the way for more great developments in the Taiwanese offshore wind industry. We're keen to deliver these projects and extend our position in leading the Taiwanese offshore revolution. We're also excited that our expanded offshore facility in Taichung will be able to support this agreement following its intended conversion into a firm order," said Marc Becker, CEO of Siemens Gamesa's offshore business.
